The Fulcrux of Elcyrion.
A comforting feeling of privacy pervades the area. A sense of clarity permeates
the immediate environment and the air feels fresh and pure, bathing the
hallowed ground PtuCIbdTlKFwBW

Psychic?


Must work out what the NL is. tongue.gif

I remember this happening to Ialie, hmm.
Joli2005-12-17 00:20:16
It's a secret code from Elcyrion, isn't it? unsure.gif

Yes.You've figured it out. When deciphered, it says,'Come to me, Joli'

Some clients use something called MCCP (Mud Client Compression Protocol) or something like that to compress the text being sent from the server to the clients. Reduces bandwidth costs and what not. Just as a wild guess, I would say that your client missed decoding a block for some reason, and the encoded data got displayed instead of what should've been displayed.

What client are you using out of curiosity? It may have just been a freak occurance, or you might want to talk to the developers who make the client if it happens more than once.
Unknown2005-12-17 06:26:58
It thinks the client is Nexus, and that last line is the extra information Lusternia sends to update all the little icons.

I'd say Nexus had a bit of a spac attack, and forgot how to read the information the server was sending it. Something to do with an atcp error, or something like that?
Sylphas2005-12-17 06:36:52
It would be incredibly nice if someone could have zMUD capture that.
Unknown2005-12-17 06:47:44
Whyte's system from Imperian does!

I'm hoping that if I can perservere, it might hold the key to that universal Lusternia healing project that was started so long ago.

Larkin had mentioned something about maybe open sourcing the LCP, but it appears to have gone nowhere, and I haven't seen him around Lusternia in forever.

I really need to take a look at Whyte's system. I hear great things about it, but never stuck around the forums or game long enough to bother with it.
Joli2005-12-17 07:59:13
It didn't happen again after I reloaded the client... and yes, it was nexus.

I wanted a secret code.
Unknown2005-12-18 14:32:17
Larkin still plays Lusternia. He just can't get time to work on his LCP. tongue.gif

There was an official project started recently, though not by me. I offered to provide my old scripts as a base for the project, but I haven't been added as a developer and no one really said they wanted my scripts. I'm more interested to see what they come up with first, anyway, just to know they're really going somewhere with the whole thing.
Unknown2005-12-23 13:48:48
Aye, that's the hidden data Lusternia sends to Nexus to update its stat displays. Handy, especially since it keeps sending those even without a prompt.

Back when I noticed it around the time the new Nexus first came out I pondered on parsing it for zMud, but you'd have to fake being Nexus to get that data line and thus probably mess up Nexus bugtracking, also we're not really supposed to have that information in a neat line like this in an environment where we can parse it.

Or at least those are the thoughts I had back then and admittedly I didn't spend much time on it.

Mmm. Hidden Data.

That status line is semi-documented in the rapture manual. I think you need to have telnet option 200 negotiated to get it, unless there's something else that's involved. Might not be able to parse it with zMud, but if someone wanted to add a module to tf that enables that option and parses the output, you could compile it into the executable and have a nice auto-updating status bar.

Or, or maybe it's Estarra's password!
